Schools

You can direct your gift to a program in one of our four schools and play an important part in sustaining our academic mission. Such support is essential to the ongoing strength of our programs and the future of our students.

The School of Science at Saint Mary's College educates students to be capable scientists and have broad intellectual interests. Our science program produces students who have strong theoretical and empirical skills, who can ask fundamental questions about science and its methods, and who are ethically aware of the impacts science has on society. You can have a hand in this stellar preparation by supporting our key priorities:

A strong endowment for science equipment and donations of new and used scientific equipment, allowing faculty to do more and better research and enable more students to participate in creating their own scientific knowledge

Scholarship support for student tuition and summer research awards through annual giving or endowment, for students in any discipline, for faculty, and to strengthen four important existing endowments or to create a new one.

KSOE owes its strong reputation to rigorous, innovative educational programs and its student-centered learning environment. The School actively addresses the issues that affect education in California and your support can contribute to this mission:

Scholarships that open opportunities for low-income students and students from under-represented groups.

Technology Development to improve the integration of education technology — like SMART Boards, Nooks, and social networking — into programs and courses.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to increase early identification and recruitment of under-represented students interested in teaching math, science or technology.

Returning Students Program to increase the recruitment/retention of second-career professionals and displaced employees interested in a teaching career.
